Call of Duty Gunning for PlayStation Vita This Year

Love it or hate it, Call of Duty is the biggest gaming brand in the world right now. So naturally all eyes are on Activision’s already announced entry in the FPS blockbuster series for PS Vita. But when can we expect to get our hands on the title? “In the autumn,” according to Sony’s senior vice president of brand marketing, Guy Longworth.

Longworth dropped the snippet in an interview with GameTrailers, adding that he expects the title to be a “game changer for the platform”. Exactly what he meant by the phrase is unclear, but it’s obvious Sony is putting a lot of faith in Activision’s ability to craft the first worthwhile portable Call of Duty experience.

It’s still unknown whether Call of Duty on the PlayStation Vita will be its own exclusive title or a port of an existing release. Personally, we’re hoping for something original that takes full advantage of the platform.

Let us know if you’re excited to play Call of Duty on the Vita in the comments.

I am not a fan of the Call of Duty series but having this game on the Vita should sell some systems for Sony. I'm not sure if this will be the "game changer" Sony is hoping it will be. If this version is solid then it should convince people to spend their hard-earned cash on a new Vita system. However, if it just ends up being a watered-down port then I can see people passing on it and sticking with the console version.
